How much was each picket or was it a sliding scale?

Can you buy part of the wall?

Glad it's working well for them.
Wonder where they got that idea from?

I'm guessing Sturt, apparently they were the first sporting club in the world to think of selling fence pickets.

Think of all the money they could of made by selling dog turds for $1 a log[emoji14]

LOL I was thinking the same thing. They must have a lawsuit going against the SCG already.

Well, maybe the first to make it work successfully in the SANFL.
Am I feeling a bit of Sturt envy emanating from your post there Spargo?

Far from it, I think Glenelg did quite well with the sale of their pickets.

well shit I'm really fricken sorry that we took an idea from someone else that worked in order for us to help our club. In this world you would think it wouldn't be such an issue but seems like there is an issue with it.

That's quite alright Stan. Set your mind at ease. Apology accepted.

$50 for a brick - you get a certificate saying you purchased a brick
$250 for a picket - plaque on a picket. Max 3 lines of writing, 20 characters per line.
$3500 for a guernsey - NFC player’s jumper with your name and number of your choice in a glass case. Your name will also feature on the same player jumper worn at the last game of the year at Norwood Oval. Also includes a picket.

Wolf Blass has put in a heap of money, as mentioned, and Coopers have as well. $4,312,600 raised so far, $1,687,400 left to go.

More disappointing news for the proposed new build at Coopers Stadium.

If I wanted to do that I'd head to Elizabeth - won more flags, and their club-rooms actually exist.

Any Legs supporters still waiting for their memberships to be delivered? Got two mates who purchased theirs online before Christmas and heard absolutely nothing from the club until they emailed them and got a reply to say it will be a week or two. And that was a week ago.

It's the same every year mate - not sure the reasons this time around, but usually it's been a wait on home match or season tickets.

Several supporters get pretty up in arms about it, but in the main I'm not sure why, they'll have them before round 1 (and if not the club will make arrangements to ensure they have their entitlements in place).

I think was the lack of communication that was pissing them off, they'd heard nothing at all.

International winemaker Wolf Blass has put his money where his heart is at SANFL club Norwood
Michelangelo Rucci, Chief Football Writer, The Advertiser

TODAY, if one of the SA-based AFL clubs was to announce a $1 million cash sponsorship, there would be a show.

Port Adelaide, as it did on signing French carmaker Renault in 2013, likes to be different to the point of organising a theme-based production on the MCG.

Crows chairman Rob Chapman, as he made known last year after BHP put big dollars into Adelaide’s AFLW campaign, would expect a big headline on Page 3 of The Advertiser.

But — as a sign of the times — when it happens in the SANFL, there is no grand reaction ... not even disbelief with the suggestion someone has typed too many zeros on the press release.

And there would be many who would doubt that sort of money would be pushed into SANFL coffers when the corporate world is more fascinated the AFL’s five-ring circus that has saturated public attention.

South Australia’s famous international winemaker Wolf Blass recently has become frustrated with how much time is passing in his wait to see the turning of the soil for the footings to the long-awaited new club house on The Parade for his beloved Norwood Football Club.

As proven by Blass’ record in trying to win the Melbourne Cup horse race, such impatience inevitably has him pull out his wallet in the hope money solves every problem.

Blass has put $1 million of his money on the table to make the project — that will carry his name — become a reality this year, the Redlegs’ 140th anniversary season.

Norwood Football Club leaders certainly understood what was meant by Blass doubling his original commitment of $500,000.

“Wolf Blass’ support and contribution will play an enormous role in facilitating the much anticipated development,” says Norwood chief executive James Fantasia.

This means: “Wolf is making sure this building is built — and very soon.”

Blass made this even clearer by saying: “I trust this continued support will encourage the council to start the project and provide additional financial support to ensure this great club can once again enjoy a social club environment that embraces its community and where people can continue to build friendships and camaraderie.”

As the Crows learn from some of its members and fans how much they miss “The Shed” from Football Park in the move to Adelaide Oval, Blass’ remarks about the importance of a social club to a football club echo well beyond The Parade.

Blass, now 83, is leaving many “legacies” around his great loves in SA. There is his wine museum reaching its opening at Hahndorf (with the town’s original school building preserved in the new structure).

And now there is to be a modern clubhouse at Norwood Oval. Every other SANFL club would wish it had a Wolf Blass ... Even some AFL clubs would savour a benefactor prepared to write million-dollar cheques.

This one act of extraordinary generosity to an SANFL club that does indeed deserve attention usually reserved to AFL franchises.
